We must be born again! Nobody will enter into Heaven unless they are born again by the spirit!

Romans 12:1-Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
If you wish to become a true Christian, what you need to do is to sacrifice yourself upon Jehovah's alter as a living sacrifice like I did, and was sealed by the Holy Spirit and given instruction while listening to the Christian radio station! God is good!

What a load of crazy talk.

Do you read the Holy Bible? The Op Ed is on track with what the Bible states.

@Pfuzylogic lots of books say lots of crazy things….that doesn’t not make them absolute because…hey - they say it is. I could say that your face will turn green if you don’t bow to the snorkel pookle god. Why? Because the snook book said so. Would that be crazy talk?

@CrystalSkull
I understand that you are coming from a point of view of a non believer. If you wrote a post would you appreciate someone writing a response saying that it was crazy talk.

@Pfuzylogic I wouldn’t state my belief as an absolute truth or imply some vague threat of not entering a special realm for the chosen if my beliefs aren’t adhered to. I think the point being that I would state…it is my belief rather than ‘you won’t get to my special place’. If someone said I’m crazy I’d probably reflect on their opinion.

@CrystalSkull
The “crazy talk” comes across as disrespectful of the Op Ed.

@Pfuzylogic I know. So does condemning me to hell or some kind of non heavenly void sadly.
I guess a better way to state it would have been
In my opinion this is indoctrinated fairly tales that are propagated by the religious to dull cognitive functioning.

Better?

@CrystalSkull
That definitely states your original intention. Have you ever thought of avoiding certain posts so that it doesn’t bring out the worst in you. Similar Worlds means looking for those that are similar. You must be new here.
Has it been less than a year.

@Pfuzylogic I’m not new here. I’ve been here since the start. I was even on EP. We have chatted before, you’re a nice person as far as I can tell. To answer your question, yes I have considered ignoring posts such as these. In all honesty I do try to resist sometimes but then I come across copious religious preachy posts stating opinion as fact, I get weak and do respond. I have no issue with what people believe on a personal note, but I do take umbrage when beliefs are touted as absolute truths. It comes up on my feed and yes I guess I get weak and respond with my general disdain. Especially when women post this narrative endlessly, without considering how these cults have historically and continue to oppress them as a sex.

@CrystalSkull
This comes across much more complete than your original statement that this is crazy talk.
Admin is working on customizing the feeds so that people see others that are simulcast in preference.

@Pfuzylogic I still think it’s crazy talk though. Why don’t these people post on religious websites where they will get positive feedback and acknowledgement? I mean if you post on a public forum, you know you will get feedback of all sorts. Especially if you post your opinions as absolute truth.

@CrystalSkull
Different beliefs on the same site does allow spurious flames to combust.

CrystalSkull · F

@Pfuzylogic Yep. This is the culture of social media.
